Man sentenced for ear bite attack

A Pembroke Dock man who bit off 95 per cent of a man's ear has appeared before a crown court judge today to admit two offences.

Robert Raymond John, 19, of Wavell Crescent, pleaded guilty to a charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Carl Thorpe on April 10.

He also admitted an allegation of theft.

The charges followed an incident at Mr Thorpe's home.

John was remanded in custody by Judge John Diehl, sitting at Swansea crown court, and will be sentenced after a probation officer had prepared a report into his background.

WEBSITE COMMENTS

The Western Telegraph website hosts comments on stories on the basis that we expect readers to respond, if they wish, with civil and rational argument.

We do not respond when we are attacked because people have a right to express opinions on our work, whether we think they are fair or not.

But some contributors seem to think our website gives them a free opportunity to unleash personal insults against individuals. This is unnacceptable and, although the site is unmoderated, we will remove such comments at the first possible opportunity.
